Work on the Harley Hammond Reserve Netball Courts and Lighting Upgrade Project in Broadford has hit a significant construction milestone with the concrete slab now poured for the new competition-standard netball courts.
This upgrade forms part of Mitchell Shire's broader investment in community sport infrastructure that will deliver two new fit-for-purpose netball courts complete with compliant lighting, supporting Broadford's growing participation in netball across all ages and abilities.
The project is backed by $967,250 from the Australian Government's Play Our Way Program with Council contributing $200,000, bringing the total investment to $1.167 million.
Crews have moved through demolition, sub-base preparation and site setup to enable the concrete slab pour - a key step in providing a durable court surface designed to meet competition and training needs.
Council is also planning a new play space adjacent to the courts, expanding recreational offerings for local families.
The play space is expected to be completed by May, with the netball courts and lighting to be completed by early April, weather permitting.
